Close enough. It doesn't have time frames though. It's a process applicable to any organism within our universe describing how it changes over time, much like how we now understand how gravity affects anything with mass.
Even Sir Isaac Newton himself didn't understand 'gravity', nobody does, but if you have people asking to many questions, and you didn't want to tell them the truth, you might come up with something like 'gravity theory'; like 'why do things fall to the earth'? and you might say in response, 'oh that is because big things attract little things to them, because they're ahhh big' and instead of just saying 'well heavy suff is stronger then not-so heavy stuff' you can spruce it up, few fancy words, a number set, things like that.
So you're hypothesis is that if a belief has been around for a significant enough time, it must be true and anything we later find to contradict this must be false. So gravity doesn't exist, electro-magnetism is 'magic', the world is flat, etc.
No I did not say that. the only reason that you know that the world is a sphere is because that knowledge has barely changed since Adam was told it by God. I think the Chinese were of the opinion that the earth was flat for a long time, until the Christians came with scripture and enlightened them, Jesuits to be precise told the Chinese the Earth was a sphere, that's always been known, the evolutionists are right on that one, bout the only thing they are right on.
In science, if contradictory evidence comes along, your original theories and hypothesis are re-assessed and you either alter or scrap those original theories. For example, Newton's idea of gravity was fine, we found it didn't always work, and we eventually came up with a more refined theory (Einstein's General Relativity). No one is saying that the theory of Evolution will stay around forever. We may well find some contradictory evidence. At the moment there is none.
Oh the theory was fine as a doctrine, it works very well, but not well enough, too many gaps, Newton didn't think much of it at all, probably was bored one day, or made it up as a joke, 'tell them the old apple fell on the head story'! Newton set the record straight later on, pangs on concience I suppose, pretty much said that whatever you call 'gravity' that is controlled by another force that we can't explain...and the he went back to reading his Bible.
Now Einstein was known to tell porky pies (lies), just about all his research papers came from his wife or other scientists, he was a plagerizer basically.
General Relativity has a long history, this goes all the way back to Babylon, it's ancient, never goes away, when Satan is in a bind he pulls out the old Relativity spell, it compliments existentialism which fosters nihilism totally secular sucker punch!
Truth, in a scientific context, is one for which all evidence to supports the theory with no contradictory evidence. If it is a physical and scientific impossibility please explain why. I've clarified why the 'evidence' against evolution claimed by you, Swat4Christ and Slepsog4 is incorrect. If you have some other 'physical and scientific' evidence still against evolution please share it.
Why? Because it is totally beyond logic and reason and contrary to all physical observation and scientific test! The crux is 'over time' that's your gap filler right, over time we see disintergration, we see the gradual increase of disorder, just if I drive up and dump a truck load of bricks on a vacant lot, the bricks will just fall in a pile, they wont magically arrange themselves into a fine brick house, if I just leave them there 'over time' they will not do anything but simply erode, in pile, until they turn to dust and blown away by the wind, never to be bricks again, "What is our life, but vapour, that appeareth for a little while, and then it vanisheth away."
Order does not become higher more complex order, over time, entropy increases resulting in disorder 'over time' remember that' that's your crux, 'over time'. The odds of Order resulting in ever increasing amounts of order higher and more refined and sophisticated order, like the pile of dumped bricks falling into the shape of a nicely designed and livable abode, of course other materials would need to by 'chance happen to congeal with my bricks, like cement, that could be brought in by say an explosion at a nearby cement factory, sort of flying into the bricks as they fall giving them a nice lick of mortar before they arrange themselves into walls, what else, fall of the land, could be a factor, wind direction maybe an overhead plane drops roof tiles from the sky by accident, just pure accident and they fall on top and they too, by chance form a roof, I mean by chance, just assume, what are the chances, it could happen once over billions of attempts, it could happen once. That's how evolutionary secular state followers sound. The chances of that happening are so embarrasing they should not be given a number, the number is 'impossible', that the number, now maybe that is 10^20, conservative estimate, probably higher, I guess, I don't know, but just to give it a chance, I mean we can put a figure on it;- pile of bricks to turn into a house and given any amount of time, so maybe the roof tiles come from somwhere and some other component comes from somewhere and they all happen to congeal in the correct house formation, once, just once, what are the chances? but is that even reasonable, a Logician or Theologian or Philosopher would have to declare that an unreasonable expectation.
